How To Interpret The LED Lights Of Azsky Dongles (know what is going on with your Azsky)

       By the time, am through with this article, most azsky users, would have known what is the normal standard of blinking pf all azsky products. You will now be in the position to interpret, your led status, and act accordingly when your azsky product is not working. The azsky products am going to cover include; Azsky G6, G1 Super, G1+(Single lights), G1+ (Double lights)  and G1. You can however borrow the idea from this post and apply on other azsky products such as G2 and Xman.


  
Q: The first question is, How should azsky led blink?
   Ans: For the above listed azsky products, the normal blink is an interchange of green and orange led (light). In other words, when an azsky dongle is working normally, it will blink both green and orange lights interchangeably. If you use G1 or G1+ that has Double light, one light, the one on the left handside will be locked on orange, while the other light will be blinking green and orange`interchangeably. The same applies to G6.

 Q: My azsky dongle, blinks normally, yet its not opening encrypted channels
     Ans: There are three answers to this, it is either your decoder is the problem,(in this case, test with another decoder). Or your account has expired (in this case if you have never renewed your account before, buy an account and renew it) and finally Maybe azsky service is generally offline(In this case call your friends and family using azsky to confirm this). You should also check if you have enabled twin protocol or dongle option on your decoder.

Q: My lights blinks Red, Green and Orange Interchangeably and my box is freezing badly thought its working why?
     Ans: This only happens when azsky team are carrying out maintenance on their servers, normalcy will be restore soon afterwards

Q: Help both lights are locked on red on my azsky. In other words there is a non- blinking red light on my azsky
    Ans: This majorly happen when you have performed and incorrect upgrade of your azsky service account. another instance is when you try to use flashtool on a fake azsky dongle. the solution is for you to read the appropriate article relevant to your dongle and follow the steps on how to restore your genuine azsky dongle. As for the fake azsky, sorry no solution for you until an account is released by A+.

Q: My Azsky  led constantly blink red and green no orange light, this was not so before?
    Ans: The culprit here is simply your sim card, please change your sim card to a non-blackberry simcard.

Q:  When i power on my azsky dongle, it blinks red rapidly in quick succession before changing to green or orange, can’t it simply blink orange and green?
     Ans: the fast red blinking is as a result of your dongle trying to login to azsky server, please allow it to finish its work. How strong your sim card network is, will determine how soon the red light changes to green.

Q: My azsky light, is locked on green. In other words, there is standby green light.
      Ans: It means your internet connection is okay, but your rs232 cable is not firmly fixed to your decoder or your dongle.

Q: What is the implication when my green light is blinking?
      Ans: It simply means your internet connection is okay, and your rs232 cable connection is okay.

Q: What is the effect when my orange light is blinking?
      Ans: It means your azsky is updating with the Azsky dongle and this is point when your airtime or MB will be depleting. it happens mostly when you change channels.

5 Top Reasons Why Azsky Dongles & Receivers Are The Best

    

Azsky has evidently conquered all its competitors with the upgrade process it recently rolled out . It has made watching satellite TV with dongles a luxury not a frustration, it has greatly unsettled those who are exploiting us with exorbitant satellite subscription bills. I will highlight the reasons why when you want to use a dongle with your dongle compliant decoder, you should go for azsky g1+ and when you want to use a receiver with an inbuilt account, go for G2 or G6.

He who laugh last, laugh best, as you all know, am always sincere and objective with my reviews and tutorials. This article is also about reviewing a product, just that this time around, the product is an existing one am talking of none other than G1, G2, G1+ and Xman. It should be noted the dongle mentioned above are manufactured by Azsky and they all use the same servers. One thing about me is that when a satellite product is performing very badly, i will say something and when it has improved, i will speak out as well.


WHY YOU SHOULD EITHER STICK WITH YOUR AZSKY DONGLE OR GET A NEW AZSKY DONGLE TODAY:
   
     Azsky G1 Is The first Gprs adapter in Africa, that enters the market with a bank, and ever since its refuses to go solo. Azsky came into the scene when all hope was almost lost for us on what we will use to watch last season’s soccer. at as the time g1 arrived other products has disappointed us and they went completely offline (e.g avatar 2, liberty, tlink, spider e.t.c) it was only azsky g1 that managed to show some couple of sports channels. So if you are a sport lover, don’t deceive yourself, buy a g1+ today or renew your existing g1+ service account.
     Azsky dongle is the most organized and the most dependable dongle till date. It is the only dongle that promised a renewal and fulfill its promise by selling service account all in the bid to continue offering us quality services. liberty decoder manufacturers also promised renewal but they have failed woefully.
Service delivery and attentiveness… The azsky team delivers on time, when they promise to do something, they do it on time. for example, the on going sever and power maintenance was planned to last two weeks, but been a considerate team, they are 95% through with it within a couple of days.
Stability: whether you like it or not, azsky dongles no longer freeze whenever it is working, those who bought their service accounts through me can testify to this. so if you are yet to get your account loaded, buy it now and load it.
    If you don’t know, i have been communicating with azsky team all this while their products were malfunctioning, and their team has always been supportive and accommodating. their service account too is relatively cheap when compared to the price of avatar’s 2 IC or cable.

    My recommendation is that if you must use a dongle, use Azsky G1+ and always remember the saying, “A bird in hand, is worth more than 10 in the bus” and “A devil you know, is better than an Angel you don’t know yet”

 You all know that on this blog, i try my best to enlighten people on latest development on Satellite products for Africa. And as of today, the name Azsky is a household name. In case you don’t know the chinese company with the brandname azsky, are the manufacturers of Xman, Xtrem, G1, G1+ G2 and now the latest of their release is G6 . Azsky G6 is a Dvb-s2 HD Gprs Combo Receiver. This receiver add some major improvements over its predecessor the G2 Gprs Combo receiver which happens to be a DVB-S1 / Mpeg-2 receiver.

Where To Buy A Reliable Service Account For G1/ G1+ / Xman /G2 and G6

 

    Yes it has been a while since there have been complaints about service disruptions on Azsky g1 and Azsky xman. An as we all know, the only solution to this problem is for you to load another service account into your expired G1 or Xman. However, I want to let you know that it is not only an expired Azsky prdouct that you can load a service account into. For example, i have a g1+ which suddenly started misbehaving within the hours of 6;30pm – 10;30pm daily for about 3weeks now, all i did was to load the newly released service account for g1 on my g1+ (despite the fact that the inbuilt service account has not yet expired) and now am happy to tell you that my g1+ no longer freezes at night.

In this post, am only trying to tell you that you can buy your service account for azsky g1, xman, xtrem, g1+ and g2 through me and after purchase you will clink the link below to load your new account procedures here.

WHO CAN BUY THE ACCOUNT?
Anybody that owns an expired g1, g2, xman, xtrem of a freezing g1+, G6.

How to Do a Decoder to Decoder Firmware Transfer Via Rs232 Cable

Like i said earlier, it may get to a point when a decoder to decoder firmware transfer will be inevitable. most especially in the two above mentioned case, where you can either not upgrade your fake strong decoder via rs232 or you cannot find a loader for your liberty decoder. Due to popular demand by (mostly novice) on how to transfer the firmware of on strong decoder to another strong decoder of the same model. E.g the two strong the coder must be the same model that . if it is strong 4669x then the two decoders must both be strong 4669x annd they must also be both fake decoders of which one is working and the other one dead. Please do not transfer firmwares between two different strong products.
   

                  As for liberty decoders, the same rules that applies to strong decoders above, also applies to it. so please don’t try to transfer the firmware of a working liberty decoder to an expired liberty decoder of different models. e.g don’t transfer t1 firmware to t3 decoder.
STEPS TO DO THE DECODER TO DECODER TRANSFER:

The steps is basically for strong, but you can apply it for liberty as well

1. You need to get a rs232 cable
2. Get another working decoder of that same type
3.connect the two decoder via rs232 and remember to switch off the fried / expired one
4. Switch on the good one. Go to – system setting – data transfer – firmware – ok.

Wait till it finish loading. That's all.

Two Ways In Which You Can Revive Your Fried / Dead Fake Strong Decoder

              HOW YOU CAN WAKE UP YOUR DEAD FAKE STRONG DECODER:
 

Immediately you buy a fake strong decoder, the first thing you should do is to backup its fake software before the decoder run into problems, you can backup the software by extracting the software that came with fake strong decoder into a usb flash drive through the following means;

Insert your usb into the decoder now goto Menu>>Storage>>Data transfer>> then press the blue button on your remote which indicates upload STB to extract your software and save it on your flash drive. this works perfectly with strong 4663 and 4669x

Unlike an original strong decoder which has several ways of waking it up when its dead or fried, fake strong decoders only have two ways in which they can be revived that is they will be revived in the first place;
You will look for someone who is using a fake strong decoder of your own model which is not yet dead and ask him to extract the software by following the steps above then he should send it to you so that you can wake your decoder via a computer to learn how to do this read my earlier post HERE.
The second method which has no restriction is for you to locate the dealer or the person who sold it to you(the worst thing that can happen to you is to buy a second-handed fake strong product) then you will beg or implore him to do a decoder to decoder software transfer for you. He may charge you if the time frame is long but you must let him know that you have a fake strong decoder and only fake strong software can wake fake strong decoder if you mistakenly attempt to wake it with an original software, you may permanently loose your decoder.
